[RE-wrenches] Schneider MPPT Nominal Voltage Won't Stick

I forgot to mention, I suspect that the Insight configuration might be
overriding changes I made with the SCP. I'm going to try to change the
nominal voltage with the local Insight interface today.
I still don't understand why the XWs are reporting the fault. Maybe that's
just the way the Xanbus network works - any MPPT can report to the XW that
the DC bus is high.
